  • Enrolling my child at The Ark Development Center was one of the best decisions I could've made as a parent. The building is secure and impressively clean. There are various safety precautions that the staff have in place to ensure our children's safety. My child has grown so much since enrolling (socially, emotionally, academically, and in their behavior). The teachers are trained properly and have so much patience. I know my child can be a handful, however, they are handled with so much grace. Their ability to teach and their curriculum allows my child to thrive creatively. I have not had any concerns with my child's well-being at all. They look forward to going to school every day, even on off days.

  • Amazing place for creative, intelligent babies, toddlers and pre schoolers. Super professional. Very detailed. Positive atmosphere. Awesome curriculum!

  • Our son has been at The Ark for over a year since he was 4 months old and we absolutely love the care and education he is receiving. We chose this facility because we didn't just want babysitters, we wanted a center focused on his development and education. He is absolutely flourishing with them and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day! The Ark team has a great program and take great care of their little scholars! It feels like we are leaving him with trusted family!
